"Putting People First in quality accessible health care"For two decades, the provision of quality healthcare for our people has not been achieved. Our highly trained doctors and nurses have left the country to the benefit of countries in the region and beyond. Our citizens need them back! It is not right that government and party officials go overseas for treatment while our people are dying in local hospitals. It is the realization of the CDP, that there is a serious lack of financial input in a sector which deserves to be a priority in a developing nation's agenda.

Seldom do we hear of that the government has injected huge amounts of money to pursue our health programs. Rather we hear preposterous amounts being spent on trivial issues. The CDP refuses to view the health of our nation as a simple foot note. As party policy, we intend to pump in massive capital in training our medical personnel and making sure they are well compensated for the noble work they do. In so doing, we also hope to attract our learned citizens in the Diaspora to come back and work for their people.

The CDP also intends to prioritize healthcare by encouraging and engaging the private sector to capitalize on insurance plans with the participation of the people and the government. Again, we intend to utilize Zambian professionals and other stakeholders to formulate a comprehensive program, which we as a party will make sure is implemented.It is our belief that the bottom-line of solving the healthcare issue is deliberately and effectively injecting more finances into the health sector than is currently. It is important to note here, that the CDP realizes that the health of a nation is directly related to the wealth of a nation.
